NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY S. CnoNK, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inNon-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in non-refillablebottles and is designed particularly to construct a bottle of this typeand character which will be in expensive and easy to manufacture.

WVith the above and other objects in view this invention consists of theconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts all as hereinaftermore fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, wherein: I

Figure 1 is a central section of a bottle constructed in accordance withthe present invention provided with its improved clo sure; Fig. 2 is acentral transverse section of the closure; Fig. 3 is a modification ofthe construction of the neck of the bottle.

Reference being had to the drawings, A indicates the bottom portion ofthe bottle provided with the neck B, said neck having the passage 1therein. At the point where the passage 1 opens into the body portion ofthe bottle, the same is reduced by the inwardly extending flange orshoulder 2, through which extends the opening 3. The closure adapted toreciprocate in this opening 3 comprises a conical member 4 having thebase 5 thereof tapered, and the apex pierced by the transverse opening6. Formed on the base 5 are the downwardly projecting arms 7, said armsbeing spaced apart sufiiciently to permit the lock bar 8 to be pivotedtherebetween at their lower extremities. This lock bar has an opening 9formed at one extremity in such a manner that a string or like membermay be passed through the opening 6 of the closure and through theformer in such a manner that the same is retained against the stem orarms 7. This construction permits the closure to be low- Specificationof Letters Patent.

ered into the opening 3 of the flange or shoulder 2 after which the lockbar is permitted to drop and the string withdrawn, thus permanentlysecuring the closure within the opening 3.

It will be seen from the foregoing that the weight of the closure 4.-retains the same within the opening 3 and will not permit any liquid tobe poured past the same into the bottle. It will also be seen that upontilting the bottle the liquid contained therein may flow freely past theclosure at.

The modification shown in Fig. 8 com prises a bottle having the bodyportion A with the neck B formed thereon. The neck of the bottleadjacent the body portion has a depression 10 therein forming theinwardly extending shoulder 11, said shoulder surrounding an opening 3in which recipro' cates the closure illustrated in Fig. 1.

To provide a strengthening means and brace for the reduced portion 10 ofthe neck, a ring 13 is fused to the bottle and to the neck over the part12, thus completely covering the reduced portion and increasing thestability and strength of the bottle.

Having thus described my invention, what is claimed as new is:

A device of the class described comprising a body portion, a neck formedon said body portion having a passage therein, said neck being providedat its lower end withan inwardly extending flange forming a contractionof said passage, and a valve adapted to reciprocate in said passageconsisting of a conical member having a transverse opening piercing itsapex, a pair of downwardly extending arms formed on the base of saidconical member, and a lock bar pivoted be tween said arms having anopening at one extremity thereof, as and for the purpose set fortl Intestimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
